Miller-Meeks Backed Legislation to Secure American Elections Passes House

Washington, D.C. – Today, the House passedH.R. 22, the SAVE Act, a critical piece of legislation to ensure that only American citizens can register to vote in federal elections. Congresswoman Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), a strong supporter of the bill and original cosponsor, praised the legislation’s passage and called on the Senate to follow the House’s lead.

“American elections should be decided by American citizens—that’s what this bill guarantees,” said Miller-Meeks. “The SAVE Act is a commonsense measure that ensures proof of citizenship is required to register for federal elections and gives states the tools they need to keep non-citizens off the voter rolls. I’m proud to lead on this issue and help restore confidence in our elections.”

The SAVE Act passedthe House with bipartisan support last Congress, only to be blocked by Senate Democrats. With President Trump back in the White House, House Republicans are committed to ensuring this commonsense legislation reaches his desk and is signed into law.
